About this artwork
"Tanager" by David Hayes, crafted in 2007, is a vibrant example of his mastery in sculpting with painted welded steel. Measuring 15.50 x 9 x 9.50 inches, this sculpture presents a dynamic interplay of forms and colors that project a sense of movement and energy. The sculpture is composed of bold, angular shapes that interlock and overlap in a seemingly precarious yet harmoniously balanced manner. The use of stark, contrasting colors—vivid red and…
deep black, punctuated by a bright yellow—adds to the visual impact of the piece, emphasizing the individual elements while creating a unified whole. The textured surface of the yellow element adds a tactile dimension to the work, inviting closer inspection. This piece exemplifies Hayes' ability to transform industrial materials into expressive, organic forms, suggesting both the natural inspiration of a tanager bird and the abstract creativity of modern sculpture.
